"I would strongly recommend these books. They are very fun to use and the students loved to read
them."

"The books were fun for the children and presented chapter books in an easy to read form. I liked the vocabulary cards and
the lesson plans that were given, as they were easy to add or subtract from. The blackline masters were also helpful."

"The books were attractive and had catchy titles. The kids were drawn to them. I especially liked the Lesson at a Glance cards that helped me with ideas for teaching."

"We loved these books! I had a lot of advanced readers this year and these books were awesome. The subject matter was really
engaging for them. They were textbooks, but they were a lot like tradebooks. They were funny and the lessons were very
user-friendly. I loved the lesson cards and the glossaries in the back of the books."

"The aspect I liked the best is that the books come in a bag with the lesson plan, activities ideas and suggestions."

"One of the most outstanding features is the Lesson at a Glance. It
is well written and has many components that are essential to a good guided reading lesson, which is how I used the
product. The stories were entertaining to the children and when a child is enjoying reading a book they are learning."

"[The program] supports my read aloud class. I had five kids that need to perform better in reading so the pictures of the book and
the different activities helped me to encourage children to read and answer questions about the book."

"I used this product as a guided reading book. It allowed for individual as well as partner activities. The before, during, and
after reading sections were easy to tailor to my groups' needs."

"We used [the books] in small group instruction during our reading block. The ESOL kids benefit from the Spanish Tips."

"I would recommend any school beginning or enhancing their guided reading libraries to
consider buying this product due to the educational value of the material and the well thought out Lesson at a Glance
documents."

"These were high-interest books that motivated them to read. I like it when they want to read!"
